lodestone change from netherite to iron revert

Lodestones should not use iron, because it ruins the value of lodestone already made with netherite.

Instead there should be perhaps be an ironstone?

With a slight different pattern or colour to distinguish between the two blocks

the compass feature can work the same between the two blocks.

It doesn't change any value of blocks, but only adds a new block, because it's annoying for all of the precious lodestone to now be worth barely anything.

at least make it an iron block. 1 ingot is a huge decrease in value from 1 netherite

Maybe the old Netherite Lodestone works in all dimensions while the new Iron Lodestone only works in the Overworld

It's pretty powerful to easily find your way home in the Nether from the very start without having to explore and progress in the game first
